Quotes
Jason Sanjay
Filmmaker and director of Sigma
“Basically, after five minutes of watching the movie, it'll only be like, 'Directed by Jason Sanjay.' Subconsciously, they're just going to watch it as a film. Whatever the criticism I get, positive/negative, the work will speak who I am.”

“I like my father's sense of humour, something that I really enjoy watching him do, letting loose and being himself.”
